Stige Island - peninsula of Odense
Explore Stige Island anew! In the past Stige Island was used as Odense Municipality's landfill. It is now completely cleaned up and reclaimed as a natural oasis and activity area, with multiple vantage points. The landscape resulting from the clean up is hilly and now houses a wide range of plants and wildlife. Underneath the hills, Stige Island now creates gas which is extracted for energy production. The process is described in detail on information signs throughout Stige Island.
It is also possible to experience Stige Island by night and make use of the many public facilities and shelters available for booking on the island. For information about how to book, see below.
